…and another successful VO community on G+ is administered by my good friend Derek Chappell. It’s called VoiceOver Blogs.

In most instances, you need an invitation to join, so send me a note to [email protected], and I’ll send you an invitation online.

But that’s not what this blog is about. THIS blog is about the apparently non-VO-related Google-Plus communities you should join to keep up with the various other special niches to be good at other skills to make your VO business run better.

Grow Your VO Biz By Joining These G+ Communities

Don’t make me say it again…OK, I’m going to anyway: Video is uber-hot. In every way, in every medium, for every occasion, and especially for marketing. The Video Marketing G+ community is a constant inspiration and how-to of tips and latest info to stay abreast of this quickly-morphing must-have content strategy.

Of course I was going to suggest this one. (27,095 members) I’m a big LinkedIn fan, and this is how I keep up with LI. This more serious-minded social media site has been on the move lately with lots of changes (some good, some bad, IMHO), and a visit here a couple times a week, brings you up-to-date. Honorable mention, but not Google-community: The LinkedIn Blog.

Novice geeks welcome. You can feed your inner engineer here. But I find it not so over-the-top technical that it’s a put-off. Lots of open sharing here of the latest stuff, and some great techniques. (2,136 members)

THIS is where the real geeks are! The posts here can get a bit deep sometimes, but online metrics cannot be ignored, and Google drives this world of online measurements more than any other service. Go here to get a clue about how this world works! (56,085 members)
